I'm verry happy with Schwalbes for city-suburb 11 km one way commuting. Good on packed snow, good in shallow snow, good on clean pavement, average in deeper snow, useless in snow over 20 cm.
Same. I use 26x1.75" Schwalbe Marathon Winters and they work fantastic on ice, shallow snow, and tarmac with not a lot of rolling resistance. I was caught the other day riding home in pretty deep snow and traction in those conditions were pretty weak. However, after I lowered the air pressure from 70 to 35 psi I had no problems.
